How to bind a command in WPF to a double click event handler of a control?

Question

I need to bind the double click event of a textblock (or potentially an image as well - either way, its a user control), to a command in my ViewModel.

TextBlock.InputBindings does not seem to bind correctly to my commands, any help?

Try Marlon Grech's attached command behaviors.

Answer 2

I also had a similar issue where I needed to bind the MouseDoubleClick event of a listview to a command in my ViewModel.

The simplest solution I came up is putting a dummy button which has the desired command binding and calling the Execute method of the button's command in the eventhandler of the MouseDoubleClick event.

.xaml

 <Button Visibility="Collapsed" Name="doubleClickButton" Command="{Binding Path=CommandShowCompanyCards}"></Button>
                <ListView  MouseDoubleClick="ListView_MouseDoubleClick" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedCompany, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" BorderThickness="0" Margin="0,10,0,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=CompanyList, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" >

codebehind

     private void ListView_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
            {
                doubleClickButton.Command.Execute(null);
            }

It is not straightforward but it is really simple and it works.
